Experimental Assessment of the Performance of Two Marine Coatings to Curb Biofilm Formation of Microfoulers

Experimental Assessment of the Performance of Two Marine Coatings to Curb Biofilm Formation of Microfoulers

Biofilms formed on submerged marine surfaces play a critical role in the fouling process, causing increased fuel consumption, corrosion, and high maintenance costs. Thus, marine biofouling is a major issue and motivates the development of antifouling coatings. In this study, the performance of two c...
